When they show a long band of calligraphy, it's better to record video of it, as otherwise you just get a few words at a time and have to take lots of screenshots, but by the time you start recording, half of it gets missed. They also show close ups of the green band of calligraphy on the qiblah wall of Masjid an-Nabawi - I took some screenshots but not sure if I have a whole ayah. I think I have some screenshots of ka'bah calligraphy, and if I find them, I'll post them.

This is a close up of one of the motifs/designs in the ceiling above the Rowdah:

It's the one in the middle of the pic here:

and the top of the pic here, with the same chandelier coming into view:

Jazakallah Khair For The Pictures.

I Dont Use That Software Anymore. Just Last Week I Updated VLC On Computer And I Realised That If I Watch The Quran Channe, Radio, Sunnah Channel LIVE. I Can Take Screenshots, Record Whole Video, Audio INSTANTLY. I Was Supposed To Also Record The Khutbah Translation But Switched Off My Charger Accidently And Laptop Died This Week. Im Not Sure Whether The Last Time I Tried Recording Video, It Was Poor Quality Due To My Internet Connection. Sometimes I Think When Your Recording And Watching, It Seems As If Its VERY POOR Quality But When You Finish Recording And Play Back, It Turns Out Brilliant And With Good Quality Videos. Yesterday They Were Showing The Ka'abah Pictures But This Saudi Links Have The Bottom Bit Of The Channel Cut Off At The Moment [ Live.gph.....] Link.

^ :jz: That pic is wonderful and clear, and just the kind of thing I was hoping existed somewhere. I wonder of there are pics like that for the other three sides as well.

The video doesn't work for me. When I download it to comp, it shows up as being 0 kb in size.

More calligraphy from Masjid an-Nabawi:

Directly above the golden grills of Rasoolullah's :saws: grave:

Indeed, those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allah - they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and great reward. (Surah al-Hujuraat, 49:3)

Today is the first time I was able to make out what it says. What an apt ayah to have there. Sends shivers down the spine.

This is the raised are with calligraphy set back a bit from the mihraab:

green_zps1decd329-1.jpg


حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ "إِنَّ الإِيمَانَ لَيَأْرِزُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا‏‏

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him):

Allah's Messenger :saws: said, "Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)".
Sahih al-Bukhari 1876, the book of virtues of Madinah.

Calligraphy of Qur'anic ayaat either side of the current mihraab in Masjid an Nabawi:

Referring to this post: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain-shareefain/134316563-haramain-pictures.html#post1555294

Top right of mihraab, in square Kufi calligraphy mostly without dots (start reading from bottom right of the square and go round clockwise).

There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful. (Surah at-Tawbah, 9:128)

Similar square top left of mihraab:

mihraableftside_zpsb3273d9d-1.jpg


33_40-1.png


Muhammad :saws: is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah is ever Aware of all things. (Surah al-Ahzaab, 33:40)

In the triangle and circle, one of each on both sides of mihraab:

qadnaraa-1.jpg


2_144-1.png


Up to the word shatrah only.

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad :saws:], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]... (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:144, part)

Round plaques marking where to send ones salaams:

Just to clarify, that in Madinah, the mimbar and mihraab, and the site of the graves, are in the brothers part of the mosque. When sisters go to pray, you will not see these things, but some of the newer marble and gold pillars. There are specific hours during the day when ladies can go to one side of the grave area (not the side that has the plaques on), and can pray in the Riyaadul Jannah area. At those times, there is a barrier erected to separate the brothers area, and over the tops of that you can see some of the chandeliers etc, but not much. Inshaa'Allah your mahram that goes with you will be able to see these things. The Riyaadul Jannah area is marked by a green carpet, whereas the carpet in the rest of the masjid is red. This green carpet extends from the mimbar of the Prophet :saws: to the grave area, where his :saws: house was, as per the hadeeth mentioned here:

http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain-shareefain/134316563-haramain-pictures.html#post1555125

You can see the green carpet here, which starts from the site of the Prophet :saws:'s mimbar :

Is that definitely May?

It looks more like a Salaatul Eid or Ramadan pic, or Hajj time maybe, as the roof and streets aren't usually full like that otherwise, but none of those were in May. Allahu a3lam. Nice pic nonetheless.

Laa ilaaha illallaah from around the Haramain:

You can see the angles and repetition of the inside arches (middle floor) from here:

Almost looks like a tunnel of arches on the left of the pillar, going round:

Not too sure, Sorry. I never took the pic; (as you may have guessed. :p.) I never actually realised the public when I saw it, until you just mentioned it. :). I was taken back by the beauty of the scene. :ma:. Tas7eeny, I wasn't of much help. :hmm:.
 
:salamext:

Very Interesting Thread. Jazaakumu Allaahu Khayran! Im Amazed At Seeing All The Pics! Especially The Kiswah Picture That One Is Beautiful! Maa Shaa Allah!
